I realized that maybe not everyone had heard of this site, and so I decided to share it here. I find myself using it all the time and tend to think everyone else does the same. Anyway; Copy Paste Character is a really handy utility-site that contains all those characters you sometimes find yourself needing but aren’t always that accessible, and enables you to simply click one of the symbols and it’s copied into your clipboard. Simply paste it, and voilà! This site should save you some tedious searching in the glyphs panel or memorizing long ASCII-codes when in need of those more elusive characters. Hope you find it useful! www.copypastecharacter.com
We’ve got some great names contributing on the VARSKO! wishes starting 1st of december here in Trondheim. A great projected christmas calendar on Vår Frue Kirke (Old historic church in Trondheim). We can’t wait to see the results of artists like Alex Trochut, Si Scott, Chris Rubino, Are Kleivan, Jens K Styve and many more. Here’s just a taste of the work Alex Trochut are making.
Our friend Erlend at Mustasj sent us a link yesterday. And since the link was filled with type, I´ll share it with you. Just because you are my favorite peeps. Yup: The link was to a type project by Vladimir Koncar called Diary Type 2 . Vladimir says: “It’s my playground when I’m fed up with commercial work.” And that boy plays a lot. Here he have played with soil:
Here are some of the other things Vladimir have played with:
Came across this interesting project by Tania Alvarez called Fabric type. Her homepage and the Behance-gallery contains more typographic goodness and other experimental projects well worth checking out!
I popped by the design blog Playmedesign (just so you know, I´ve played with the link… but you will enjoy it. Promise) today. They have posted some typographical treats…
Typeface aka “Captain A-Face”, is a Marvel vigilante. Typeface is a army veteran, and a former sign painter, with bad mental health. Even though he has no powers, he have won over Spider Man once, and, I might ad, he has weapons: A variety of letters-based weaponry adorning his costume (including a razor-sharp letter “P”). He is my, hands down, favorite Marvel, even though he was killed in 2007. R.I.P.
TTC (Trondheim Type Club) started out in 2008 by Aasmund Hegglid and Trond Aslak Øvrum. The idea was made in 2007 as something we missed in our town. A breeding place for type-fanatics.
We are now a group of people with relations to the design/advertising industry in Trondheim, Norway.
We all have passion and love for typography, and want to share our ideas, inspirations and knowledge with everyone. Kern or die!
